PUMPLESS METAL ATOMISATION AND COMBUSTION USING VACUUM GENERATION AND SUITABLE MATERIAL FLOW CONTROL

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the combustion of an electropositive metal using a combustion gas, which electropositive metal is drawn, in the form of a fluid or powder having particles with a particle size of less than 100 µm, out of a container by atomising a carrier gas in a first nozzle, which tapers in relation to the cross-section in the flow direction of the carrier gas, said electropositive metal being drawn out of the container into the first nozzle, being atomised out of said nozzle and combusted using the combustion gas. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method.
